I want to play this game with more than 10 players (maybe even 16). Will this game work with so many people? Could players write jokes separately but earn points as a team?

We didn't really have any trouble with larger games, but I don't think we play strictly by the rules.

We have only one answer per person and a time limit: nothing near frantic, but it's just because a lot of people just cannot think of something funny to say and are actually relieved when time expires on them.

If some persistently have problems coming up with something, we have them team up with others so they can swap ideas and make an answer more likely.

The "judge" chooses 3 nouns and picks their favorite two for the sentence. Everyone votes for every answer, and we just see who got the most votes by the end.

Once again, I don't know how you're supposed to play it, but that's what works for us.
